Criminal History
Convicted in 2013 of fleeing and eluding arrest after engaging in a high-speed car chase across interstate lines. He was convicted in Michigan on December 11, 2017, of police officer – fleeing fourth degree, and operating impaired, for which he received a year in jail and a fine.
He was convicted in Wisconsin on April 22, 2014, of vehicle operator flee/eluding officers and first degree recklessly endangering safety, for which he received 11 months of jail time and two years’ probation. As noted in the police reports for those incidents, a Wisconsin deputy observed a vehicle traveling above the speed limit when he began to pursue the vehicle, which in turn accelerated. The deputy continued pursuit, as the accelerating vehicle swerved around vehicles and traveled at rates over 140 miles per hour. The deputy radioed for assistance, and other deputies joined in pursuit, with marked cars and flashing lights and sirens. The vehicle entered Michigan and stopped with smoke coming from its tires. At that time, deputies ordered the driver, identified as the defendant, to exit the vehicle; officers observed empty beer cans and detected the smell of alcohol.
In addition to his conviction for fleeing and eluding, defendant also was convicted of: disturbing the peace (Michigan, 9/12/2008, fine); permitting another to violate the motor vehicle code (Michigan, 2/4/2010, fine); and obstructing officer (Wisconsin, 11/11/2011, fine)
